Did you guys know that R. Kelly is illiterate????

We sure didn't!

According to a speech Kelly gave at the Midwest Music Festival in Chicago, the scandal-driven R&B star says he barely graduated from elementary school!

"I don't even read really and I'm not afraid to say that," revealed Kelly. "The only reason I graduated from grammar school is because I had a great jump shot."

Once entering high school, one of R. Kelly's teachers let the singer know they believed in his talents as a writer and wouldn't let him coast through without taking advantage of his skill.

"I went to high school and [my teacher] told me, 'You will be one of the greatest writers of all time,'" said Kelly. "I believed. You [have to] believe it. You can't believe [anything] if you're hating."

Words of wisdom from an alleged pedo!

This is just sad!

Jermaine Jackson is doing all he can to bring recognizable names to the doomed Michael Jackson tribute concert he's planning in Vienna, Austria, later this month! He doesn't even care what they're claim to fame has become!

So, Jermaine's fondness for Chris Brown to perform at the upcoming tribute should be no surprise!

"Chris has been invited, working out his own situation. He definitely expressed to us he wants to be there. Depends what he is going through with his court case and if a judge will let him leave the country. Chris wants to do Man in Mirror or Thriller," Jermaine said.

And Jermaine really believes that woman beaters should get second chances!

Jackson continued, "Will it be negative if he's there - not at all, he's asked for forgiveness. If Christ can forgive us then we can see people make mistakes. He's a wonderful performer and people need support at these kinds of times."

Jermaine has also begged asked Akon, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Maroon 5 and Sister Sledge.

Good luck with that line up!

As of now, Brown and Mary J. Blige have both denied reports they will be performing at the benefit - and no other member of the Jackson family will be attending!

This has disaster written all over it!

R.Kelly plans to finish and release the album Michael Jackson was working on before his tragic death.

Kelly is convinced that after previously working with Jackson, he would have picked Kelly to carry out recording and releasing his next album.

GROAN.

Kelly says:

"I recorded five joints for Michael Jackson (in the past). And we had been talking on the phone about his new album, and I was going to finish what Michael was doing at the time. We're going to get it out, though. Michael liked the way I would try to sing the songs just like him."

Dude, you don't even come close to the King of Pop!

Do U want to hear R. Kelly's version of what was to be Michael's new album?

Hope he's gotten this approved from MJ's estate!

He cannot stay away from young girls out of trouble!!!

According the the National Enquirer, R. Kelly is under investigation AGAIN for being sexually involved with a minor!

Detectives reportedly showed up at Kelly's Illinois home after receiving a tip that an underage girl was living with him, but there was no sign of either.

Authorities did eventually find the girl and discovered that she is indeed 17, the consenting age for the state, but investigations will continue to discover how long the relationship has been going on!

No complaint has been filed at this time, although he will be questioned by police when he returns from his tour in South Africa.

These allegations are coming just a year after being acquitted for soliciting a minor for child pornography, when he appeared in a sex tape with a 14 year old girl!

Idiot!!!!

Update: According to the Olympia Fields Police Dept, "All rumors are completely false information. There is no investigation into R. Kelly at the present time. We have been fielding calls for the past three days."

R. Kelly is starting the new year off with a finalized divorce from his wife of 11 years, Andrea Lee Kelly.

Who knew he was even married?????

They couple will have joint custody of their two kids.

Who knew he had two kids?????????????

It's a divorce that's been 4 years in the making, starting when Andrea filed an emergency protective order in 2005 amid claims that Kelly was physically abusive. She rescinded later, but in 2006, she filed for divorce.

They married in 1996 after Andrea "auditioned" for Kelly. She would go on to direct the choreography for his tours, videos and live performances.

Acquitted of child pornography charges and divorced!

Looks like it's time to celebrate with some girls!

R. Kelly is in legal trouble again.

Thankfully, though, this time it doesn't involve 15-year-old girls.

The I Believe I Can Fly singer believes his former tour promoter - Rowe Entertainment - owes him $3.4 million, and he's asking an LA judge to help him collect!

Kelly claims that Rowe and owner Leonard Rowe didn't cough up all the dough owed to him for shows last year and earlier this year. Rowe said, "No way" but never gave a good reason, so Kelly gets the money.

The singer, who once long ago in the 90s won three Grammys, is now better known for his sketchy business practices and consequent entanglements with the law.

He's been lucky so far, but we'll see if R. Kelly ends up with what he wants this time around.

It looks like he will because Ne-Yo just won a $700,000 judgement against Rowe when he sued for being kicked off the tour early.

We wish R. Kelly would just stay trapped in the closet!

OMG!!!

Did you see it????

R. Kelly is finally speaking out about the child pornography trial he endured a few months ago.

On Tuesday, BET aired a pre-taped interview with the troubled singer.

BET news journalist Toure didn't hold anything back and asked him about his alleged weakness for teenaged girls.

Here's how the exchange played out:

Toure: Let me ask you something real that millions of Americans are thinking about and wondering about you. Do you like teenage girls?
Kelly: When you say teenage, how old are we talking?
Toure: Girls who are teenagers.
Kelly: 19?
Toure: 19 and younger.
Kelly: I have some 19-year-old friends, but I don't like anybody illegal if that's what we're talking about, underage.
Toure: Uh-huh. Some people think that you like underage girls. What do you say to that?
Kelly: Those people don't know Robert. They don't know me. I usually don't get into what people think about me, because all my career — even before the trial — people had their opinions about Robert, you know. That's probably because, it had a lot to do with me kind of shying away from the crowd, ’cause I'm always in the the studio, digging deep into the basement all the time of my house, creating music. So when people don't know you, they can't touch you like they could someone else. They seem to form opinions or have thoughts about you that they like to, you know, think.
Toure: Some of the people who've worked with you have said there's an issue here. Your former manager has said publicly there's an issue of concern here. Your brother Carey has said there's an issue of concern here.
Kelly: Issue of concern? What do you mean when you say issue of concern?
Toure: They said that they're concerned that you like underage girls.
Kelly: Let me put it to you this way, man. It's unfortunate that people who don't work for me says that the people that do work for me don't say that, and the people who don't work for me were fired. If you have someone work for you and they're mad ’cause they're not working for you anymore and used to getting a certain amount of money or a certain amount of fame because they work for you, because you're famous, and all of a sudden they mess you around and you let them go — anything that comes up about you, they're gonna run and say, "Yeah, he did that to me! I knew this, too, about him." But you really can't, you know — I don't want you, I want my fans: Do not list to the people that was fired. Don't even listen to the people that was hired. Listen to the facts, and get into what you think and make your own opinion. If you're gonna have an opinion about me, have your own opinion of what you think about me. What you definitely don't do is go by somebody that was fired and mad and pissed off about you because they were fired.
Toure: But your brother Carey was not fired. He's your brother.
Kelly: He was fired.
Toure: But he's still your brother.
Kelly: Doesn't matter. He's still my brother, but if he's so my brother [then] why'd he get fired?
Toure: Why did he get fired?
Kelly: I can't get into that. … Unfortunately, it's like this: When you're me, when you're R. Kelly, everybody wants a piece of you, and if you don't give 'em a piece they'll find a way to get a piece of you one way or the other. I've been blackmailed a billion times in my career — before the trial, during the trial, after the trial — I've been sued for stuff that … ridiculous things. At one point in my life, I was an ATM machine. People would come up and push whatever, and if it don't come out they'll go tell somebody this or they'll go run and say this, run and say that. I'm used to that. I'm, you know — you don't get used to it. Let me take that back. I'm not used to it, but I'm used to the fact I know people will do this, sometimes even your own family members. I don't hate no one of 'em, but I know a lot of people will be out to get me ’cause I'm very vulnerable, man, especially during a seven-year trial.
Toure: So there's no issue here? They're all wrong, there's no issue here — that's what you're saying?
Kelly: It depends on who you say "they're all," and what they're saying.

Can you believe he said all that shiz???!!!!

R. Kelly also said that he wants everyone to lay off of him since he was found innocent. "If you were charged with something and found innocent, then you can't be found guilty for being found innocent."

The law says he's "technically" innocent, but we can't help feel so skeeved out by him!

As we mentioned yesterday, R. Kelly is involved in a $1.5 million fraud scheme over in South Africa.

It seems a local business woman conned people out of their money, promising them large returns on ticket sales when R. Kelly would tour the country.

Though the tour never happened, people never got their money back, and according to officials in South Africa, the money was deposited into R. Kelly's bank account.

"Luckil"y, reps for the R&B singer have finally released a statement today about the reports.

It reads:

"There is absolutely no truth to the reports that R. Kelly received money from a South African woman accused of swindling investors by convincing them to invest in a non-existent R. Kelly tour in 2005. Mr. Kelly has no knowledge of this woman, has never received any money from her, and has not been contacted by any law enforcement authorities regarding the matter. He will, of course, cooperate fully with any legitimate investigation of this matter, since he has nothing to hide."

Wonder who's telling the truth?
